The Principal Investigator recently completed a non-concurrent, single-institution study of patients who received conventional non-silver containing dressing with Acticoat as post-operative dressing following defined lower extremity revascularizations(Childress, Berceli et al. 2007). The study population comprised 216 patients who underwent 248 cases that met inclusion criteria. Both groups were similar with regards to age at the time of first procedure, gender, race, diabetes, hypertension, current smoking, and renal insufficiency (creatinine >1.5 mg/L). Furthermore, both groups had tissue loss as the most common indication for the lower extremity revascularization procedure, with 47% (55/118) for the control group and 38% (49/130) for the treatment group. Moreover, autogenous vein bypass graft was the most common procedure performed for the control (65/118, 55% of procedures) and treatment (54/130, 42% of procedures) groups.
